Full description
Thackray, C., 1990, Archaeological Survey of the Salcombe Estuary: West (Bolt Head to Bolt Tail and Snapes Point) Devon, 25 (Report - Survey). SDV345519.
There is reported to be a concrete platform on the level ground overlooking the beach at Soar Mill Cove, which was probably part of the coastal defences erected during the Second World War. The site has been made safe - the platform is flush with the ground, and was not found on a site visit in July 1989.
